Surface treatment of halide perovskite nanocrystals with acyl halides and an organic host to suppress energy transfer and electronic coupling, combined with a manufacturing method that includes ligand substitution and dispersion to maintain uniform size and prevent red shifting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If surface treatment is performed using conventional long ligands during synthesis, then emission efficiency is improved, but particle size control becomes difficult and surface defects are generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemission efficiencyVSAvoidparticle size control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing surface treatment with acyl halides after nanocrystal synthesis rather than during synthesis. This sequential approach allows particle size to be precisely controlled during synthesis, then surface defects are subsequently treated without interfering with size control, resolving the contradiction between emission efficiency and particle size control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical parameter of the ligand from conventional long-chain ligands to acyl halides with specific functional groups. This parameter change enables effective surface treatment that improves emission efficiency while maintaining particle size control, as acyl halides provide different binding characteristics compared to conventional ligands

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Illumination intensity

If halide perovskite nanocrystals are used for deep blue emission, then color purity is improved, but energy transfer between nanocrystals causes red shift and reduces efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor purityVSAvoidenergy transfer loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an organic host material as an intermediary between halide perovskite nanocrystals. This host material acts as a mediator that prevents direct energy transfer between nanocrystals, thereby suppressing the red shift effect while maintaining the high color purity advantage of halide perovskite nanocrystals

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the problematic direct interaction between nanocrystals by embedding them in an organic host matrix. This separation isolates individual nanocrystals from each other, preventing harmful energy transfer while preserving their light-emitting properties and color purity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Stability of the object's composition

If quantum confinement effect is used to achieve blue emission, then halide segregation is prevented, but nanocrystals become vulnerable to surface defect formation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehalide segregation resistanceVSAvoidsurface defect formation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by maintaining quantum confinement during synthesis to prevent halide segregation, then subsequently applying surface treatment with acyl halides to address surface defects. This two-stage approach ensures compositional stability is established first, then surface quality is improved without compromising the quantum confinement effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
